« on: February 21, 2015, 07:31:49 AM »Today I received my pimp package from spielmaterial.I suppose, the castles are these unpainted? Can you please make photos, how they look like on an actual "4 point city"?
From left to right: sheds, houses & towers; sheep; crops, cloth & wine; castles; Robber Baron & King pieces to mark relevant features.
They are indeed; grey though, not unpainted. When I was ordering, I was worried that the castles were going to be too small, however it turns out that they're just the right size to fit within the walls of a two tile city and support a follower:
Still, would be nice to have a bit more detail in the design in my opinion.
Without wanting to get too off topic, here are some photos of the others in action if they'll help anyone. I bought the pieces to stand out clearer than the tokens that come in the expansions so that they're more visible when putting together a game of megacarc.
The Sheep look good with the shepherd.
The tower's design could be slightly more in-line with the game's architecture and I probably should have bought a different colour for the houses to distinguish from the sheds; but over all I'm very happy with how these look.
The trade goods look good sitting in the cities, and match up well with the gold bars from The Goldmines.
The two big fellas here. Little bit too big for my tastes, I'd prefer them no bigger than the count. I'm using them to move around the board to mark largest city & roads whilst the king/baron tiles move between the players to show who's currently getting the points at the end.
And finally, here's a size comparison
(Also, that pewter set looks sweet!)
